Öhlins STX36 Blackline Shocks for Motorcycle Suspension

Upgrade your motorcycle’s rear suspension with Öhlins STX36 Blackline shocks, designed to deliver controlled handling, comfort, and performance for street riding. Featuring a twin-shock configuration and STX single-tube design, this suspension system combines adjustable rebound damping, adjustable spring preload, and high-pressure nitrogen gas charging in a durable package.

Built for riders looking to refine their motorcycle’s suspension response, these shocks feature a 36 mm piston and a low-friction shaft and seal-head design. Multiple spring rates are available to accommodate a broad range of rider weights and setup requirements. Always verify the correct application and spring selection for your motorcycle before ordering.

Öhlins STX36 Blackline Shocks with Adjustable Rebound Damping

Rebound damping controls how quickly the suspension extends after compression. The adjustable rebound damping on these Öhlins STX36 Blackline shocks allows riders or technicians to fine-tune suspension response to suit riding preferences and road conditions.

Correct adjustment can help support predictable suspension behavior over uneven pavement and during changes in load. The ideal setting depends on motorcycle fitment, rider weight, spring selection, and riding conditions. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when making adjustments.

STX Monotube Design with a 36 mm Piston

The STX single-tube design uses a monotube shock configuration with a 36 mm piston. This construction is engineered to provide controlled suspension action for everyday street use. The internal reservoir arrangement is part of the listed product features, while the overall shock design is intended to support consistent response under changing riding inputs.

Before installation, confirm the shock dimensions and mounting specifications match your motorcycle. Incorrect shock length or mounting compatibility may affect suspension travel, handling, and vehicle safety.

High-Pressure Nitrogen Gas-Charged Suspension

These shocks are charged with high-pressure nitrogen gas as part of their suspension design. Gas charging supports the shock’s internal operating system and helps the damper function as intended. Proper servicing and setup are important to maintain reliable performance over time.

Adjustable Preload for Rider Weight and Load

The adjustable spring preload feature allows the suspension to be set up for different rider weights and load conditions. Preload adjustment changes the spring’s initial compression and can help establish suitable suspension sag when configured correctly. An adjustment tool is specified for setting preload.

Multiple spring rates are available to accommodate a range of riders. The listed weight range is approximately 150 to 500 pounds; this should not be interpreted as a guarantee that one spring suits every weight within that range. Select the appropriate spring and setup according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Comfort, Rideability, and Street Performance

The Öhlins STX36 Blackline range is designed to balance comfort, rideability, and suspension performance. Rebound adjustment and appropriate spring selection can help riders tailor the setup to their motorcycle and typical street conditions. Actual results vary with motorcycle compatibility, rider and passenger weight, road surface, and suspension settings.

Precision-Machined Components and Low-Friction Design

These shocks feature hard-anodized, precision CNC-machined components and a low-friction shaft and seal-head design. These construction details are intended to support durability and smooth suspension movement. The shocks are also described as fully serviceable and repairable, allowing maintenance when required in accordance with the manufacturer’s service procedures.
